Electrify Version of the locked bootloader Rom

Thank you for all the hard work and for making a locked bootloader version. Can I make a request? Can you make a Electrify Locked bootloader Rom? This would be great as many of us have the updated Electrify with the locked bootloader and are stuck on stock. I like many have used the links you gave to mod as much as we can your phones but it would be so much nicer with a clean install with the modifications.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Yes I can do that send me a build prop or make a backup from a,fresh install and pm it too me
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Will do, I will wipe data, flash stock sbf, root, install bootstrap, create a backup, and send you a link.

Thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Ok thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] casper97ta:
Edit: nvm.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
So I don't need to use my dhd ko file, I can use the one that comes with your rom?

Also I wanted to say thanks for your help and quick reply. Anytime a question is asked you always reply, I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Thanks you really appreciate it. Nope just flash you should be good and just switch build prop
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Here you go bootstrap backup of the Electrify 2.3.5 stock with busybox, superuser, and bootstrap recovery installed.

P.S. Check your PayPal I sent a little thank you for all your work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
thank you i will get working on this right now and hopefully i can get a zip together tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
I sent you a PM
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
I'm at work for 4 more hours then i will flash it and give it a go. Anything special to do or just install zip this bad boy over a clean stock, and do a factory reset with a dalvic wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
yup should be able to just flash
[Motorola Photon 4G] chrylaser:
Do I flash this the same way I Flash skinny4G? I am rooted and locked. I wont loose 4G, right? Thanks for the ROM!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes

Sent from a Rocko solid Mopho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Sorry a no go for the Electrify test.

I am trying some splicing of the stock /system with the one that you created to try to find a happy middle. I will upload the stock /system in a minute and if I get anywhere on this I will send it to you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Ok did not boot?

Install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
V30 error?

I just flashed your rom and everything worked,wifi,calls,etc., but I kept having a pop-up saying V30:voice mail error. I had a 4g and 3g symbol in my status bar. When I pull down the status bar it says sprint instead of U.S. Cellular. I really don't care about it showing Sprint, but if there's a way to stop the V30 error that would be awesome. This rom is super quick and thanks for your continued improvement of it.:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
me and seesser are trying to work on a version for you guys
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Ed,

Can you tell me what you changed to fix the gallery bug?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Be_photo in etc folder
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
Super Sweet! With everyone thats working on the Photon/Electrify I don't know if I'll switch to the Galaxy SII when us cellular rolls it out with their 4g in a few months lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Sorry for the late reply,

The first test did not boot just stayed at the Moto screen.

I took all the pieces from the test and injected it into the stock, ran deodex on the /system/app and /system/framework. Testing it out now. will have results in a few.

First mixed test worked but I left the preinstall in system and it installed everything and re odex the folders.

Second attempt didn't install ( played with the install script to say Rocko Electrify.

Third try going on now .....

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Third time same as the first???????

OK I am sending my attempt up to the cloud and will include the deodex files and the better bootanamation. or I have an Idea.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Alright thanks i thought i deodex the files already..but anyways good stuff man
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
You did on yours but I wasn't sure if the stock electrify one were different then the sprint ones. This mixed one I made is just a concept one that you can build off of.

Trying to figure out why on first boot it changes the bootanamation back and re odex all the files? Plus it installs all the USCC files again, must be the locked boot thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
OK I have to go to bed I am down to 5 hours before I have to get ready for work. I am uploading what I have to my cloud and will post the link when I get back up.

What I have so far:

Rocko 1.0 updated scripts and extras added to stock Electrify system

What works that I can tell is everything but I do get a force close of the "phone" at boot up but after that everything runs good. Also this zip is 2x the size of the Rocko v1.0 that I was given to test so hopefully you can fix this.

Notes:

the phone on first boot installs all uscell apps from preinstall partition! To block this us the root explorer app I included and delete everything inside the /system/preinstall folder, reinstall bootstrap that is also included, and do a factory reset and reinstall rom.

Also the phone re odex the app and framework folders. Don't know about this but I will look into this more tomorrow.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Cool man i get off work at 230 tomorrow and have pretty much the afternoon to work on it
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
Ok I've been using the rom locked since i got wifi working. I really like it! Thanks.

I have noticed a bug or quirk i cant resolve. When you set an alarm and test the alarm sound it is loud. When the alarm actually goes off it is muted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttkyles:
OK can i get precise directions to replace the dhd file.

Can it be done using root explorer?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Yes file is in lib folder
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Mine works good strange
[Motorola Photon 4G] phince1:
New Electrify version yet? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
if you hit the thanks button 5x :-) jp im waiting for seesser to see what exactly he wants to do with it i was just working on the normal rocko version 2.0 hopefully he lets me know 2night because i work till 230 2maro and gotta watch the 49ers & saints and bronco & pats game 2maro on top of that i have to move this weekend too...so much too do a lil time..
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Sorry everyone I found a major bug in the one I uploaded to the cloud so I didn't link it.

I fixed the bug and am just tweaking a few things before uploading. I will have the flash that I have working ( but you have to do some extra stuff after first boot ) and I will put up a backup of the finished product.

All I can say is the person that programmed this new locked bootloader is someone that you shake his hand for being a great programmer while kicking him in the nuts for writing this thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
haha same here..cool man

Electrify Bootstrap Test Rom

This Rom is for the USCellular Electrify that is running 2.3.5!!! This zip will replace your /system folder with a modified stock 2.3.5 /system folder.

For Unlocked Electrify running 2.3.5 CWM boot-able backup Please download the link marked "Unlocked Only (Patch)" and simply install patch over current Rom and do data wipe (both caches). I also recommend you install a Joker Kernel before installing this patch for best results.

First off ROCKO is created by edward.hidalgo. This is his work I just inserted ROCKO into the stock Electrify and was able to get it to work (for the most part, I get one error still). Please thank him and his helpers for all the hard work and for helping me with the mod.

[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Good question?!?!? Try if any problems change build prop
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
What about if your unlocked? I'm running the unlocked 2.3.5. Can I just flash the rom and then use script manager to run the speed scripts? Thank you so much for making this for us Electrify users.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
This electrify test rom is only for the locked users i will grab the unloacked cwm bootable and inject the speed tweaks and get back to you with it.

This test rom does have the 1080p video just like stock. But please note that this will not flash on a Photon!!!!.
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
Cool beans! Thanks! No hurry though I'm patient. Ya'll have been great fixing all the problems and answering everyone's questions.

Awesome man, you should 2.0 is loooking good
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Which link in the OP is the most recent and is for unlocked Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Rocko 1.1.1
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Are there significant differences between 1.o and 1.1.1??
[Motorola Photon 4G] todah09:
Cna some tell me the correct permissions for the dhd.ko file.and i also have a dummy ko file.should that be there..thank for any help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] idusortus:
Looking good! Had the Locked 2.3.5 Electrify version installed before the boot animation update. When I went to update it I kinda forgot to remove the zip from within a zip. Are you doing that intentionally or is that something from your server? Didn't notice much compression in the zipwrap. Kinda freaked out my bootstrap for a few cycles, but it cleared itself just fine.

Excellent choice on the animation... makes me want a better headset.

The only small tweak I made so far was to backup and remove /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to kill the shutter click.

Off to go push it around a lil'.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Gallery fixd
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Here you go
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Thanks for the feed back.

The updated boot animation zip is correct (atleast it download to me correctly) It has the boot animation plus all the file tweaks that are in ROCKO and extra apps needed. This might be what you are talking about with the zip inside the zip. The Third file (boot animation / tweaks) is designed to be installed on top of the main rom after first boot. This is because not everything sticks during first boot so the Third file just re-installs all files.

I Hope this clears up some of the questions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phince1:
ED & Seesser you've done well. This ROM is considerably better than stock. Thanks for all your work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I'm on 1.1.1 and the gallery still isn't fixed for me.

Edit: Oh I guess you mean you added the 3d gallery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mesmerbelly:
I have this running on my uscc electrify 1.1 to be exact im unlocked my question is can i flash the uscc version from cwm or is it only for locked bootloaders?
[Motorola Photon 4G] idusortus:
By zip within a zip I mean this: When I download your file I get photonpunch.zip. When I click on it, it has a neted photonpunch.zip within it. That's been the case with all the files I've gotten from your sharesite. Could be on my end, but I wanted to make sure no one else had a blonde moment and tried to flash a nested zip. I don't think any actual harm could be done but I did have a brief OWTF moment before I figured out it was just nested. I still get a little sketched out when having to pull the battery while in bootstrap recovery.

What's your take on the supposed Motorola monitoring software? When I removed this stuff from my stock setup I had a noticable improvement in performance. I just froze them on my Rocko(Sesser) install and seems to have less impact... but I still dislike the idea of Moto harvesting more info than they need.

Apparently one of the 2.3.5 testers confirmed that Moto had a detailed record of

how many times he wiped his device - for what that is worth.

Here's a list cloned from http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=1532

AdService.apk

DataCollection.apk

DataCollectorProvider.apk

DataColectorService.apk

KpiLogger.apk (possibly Key Punch Interface Logger, exactly like CarrierIQ)

If you know of any reason not to move the above, or have any to add, please let me know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
I tried running 1.1.1 and went through 40% of the battery in less than 30 minutes for some reason. Also Power Amp will not run on 1.1.1 which I use 5 days a week so I had to go back to CM9.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Nice catch! I will remove these files in the next update unless someone lets me know they are needed. As for the downloads mine are singled zipped so not sure there, is anyone else having this happen? Also if there are any more suggestions plus let me know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phince1:
My 8-point multi-touch didnt seem to work, but i'll just swap the files.

Also, any chance of a battery mod for 1% increments or can you not change the kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Locked version screwed my phone for a bit xD it wouldnt boot, or atleadt when it finished it never got past starting services and i tried reflashing skinny4g nd it made that rom do the same.. then it wouldnt boot at all, had to do rsdlite
[Motorola Photon 4G] jguevara4854:
Everytime I install boot loop this rom is no good watched videos for install and everything
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
I'm wondering the same thing, as soon as they post one for unlocked I'm trying it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
It works. For sprint.

Do it like this.

1. Sbf 198.7 ,root, install bootstrap.apk,install recovery, reboot recovery.

2. In recovery. Wipe data/ factory reset, under mounts and storage - format data,system, and cache. Under advanced wipe dalvic.

3. Flash rocko zip.

4. Reboot.

Takes a while on first boot.

If wifi doesnt work. Replace dhd.ko under /system/lib with dhd.ko from previous posts.

Mrfordwrench
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Are you waiting long enough? This ROM take a very long time to boot up on the first boot
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
If you are on the 2.3.5 cwm bootable you can try it I listed how in blue. You mainly just flash the boot animation (third file) and do a factory reset data wipe and reboot. It has all the tweaks in it also.
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
So I don't need the the second file, I just need the boot/speed zip file? I just want to make sure. I usually won't flash anything until I'm 100% sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
You should be good. The second file has the full /system folder with tweaks, data wipes, and makes some links. But some tweaks like the speed scripts don't stick on first boot so the I made the third zip. The third has all the modded files and speed tweaks but none of the stock unchanged files. You can open the third zip file on your pc to take a look at what it adds and changes.

Flashing the second file shouldn't hurt anything being it only replaces the /system folder that you should have the same being that cwm bootable is a pull from the same stock sbf. Either way this rom can not lock your phone because it doesn't touch anything other than /system.

My only worry is if something in /system in my rom might have issues with the /system in the cwm rom and therefore might cause you stability issues.
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
Okay, I'll open them up and take a look. I have the speed tweaks Joker posted installed, kickass kernel tweak, and a couple others. I'll try these and see. Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jortiz12885:
Which link is for the locked photon version? i only see Electrify locked download link....NEVERMIND!! GOT IT! is the bootstrap version that with the link that says "Donwload"

Rocko 1.1.1 doesnt Boot !

Is there some specific steps to be followed to install this Rom and get it to BOOT ?

I recently got my photon and followed the below steps to flash this rom:

Flashed 198-7 sbf via rsd lite

unlocked using pudding, derpunlock.sbf

root using AIO root

flash custom CWM recovery 5.x.x

now boot into CWM and wipe factory reset/cache/dalvik-cache

flash Rocko 1.1.1 (unlocked version)

No Luck.. it takes awefully long time (45 mins) and stays in the Motorola Dual Core tech screen itself, doesnt go any further!!! tried the wipe & reinstall several times and no luck !

Just to make sure everything else is ok, I tried flashing CM9 and CM7 as well, both work without any issues (though I am unable to use my GSM network on either of those roms) the roms boot fine and take me to the activation screen of cdma. But the Rocko 1.1.1 simply refuses to boot.

What is wrong with the steps i followed? Anything else to be done to get this rom working ? CM7/9 doesnt work for me coz i m looking at using GSM only and tht doesnt happen in those. I am relying upon this ROM to make my day !! plz help guys !! plzzzzz

Is it okay to have the tweaks Joker posted, kickass kernel and the lib files installed with the boot/speed files from this rom too? I know he used some of the stuff from jokers in his, everything's running fine, was just wondering.

Does this ROM allow GSM to work ? (international roaming).. I wanna use this ROM in India, on GSM network only .

I just wanted to check if it needs any specific setup for GSM to be working outside of US
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
On the Electrify Rom I removed some of the tweaks that are in the Photon Rom because they were causing the phone not to boot. One Example was the app2sd tweak, I had Webtop2sd so I have a ext3 partition on my sd card that this tweak sends everything to that was not needed.

I haven't played with adding each one back one at a time to see what was causing the issues but will look more into it on the next update. I just wanted the most stable for this test Rom and next ones will have more tweaking. As for the Joker tweaks (the three files one right) should be OK but I have not tested it yet.

Electrify Version Update 1.1 Deodex and More

Hello everyone,

I am uploading an update for the locked Electrify ROCKO Rom!

I will update the main Electrify post # 220.

Changes include:

Deodex (themes coming soon)

8 point touch fixed

Malware Removed

ROCKO tweaks

ICS tweaks

Joker Tweaks

Speedy v7 tweaks

Only one file to flash Now

Known Issues:

Still get that force close of "phone" right at start. :confused:

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

I had a question come up from another thread site and felt I would post the response on both threads to help answer it.

The question was about the install-recovery.sh found in /system/etc and if this would install the stock recovery back on an unlocked Electrify.

My response:

{

The install-recovery.sh is a mod that joker made. I opened it up after you asked to see what it was to make sure I had the right file and it actually in this case is a command to run the /system/etc/init.d files. This mode is only needed for people running on the stock kernel that does not run the gscript mod that I posted in the file. Trying to make it simpler for people but If you are unlocked and running a joker kernel anyway it is not needed so I will try to make a patch update for people running the 2.3.5 CWM unlocked. That is mainly just the beats and xloud mods with speed tweaks.

}

This patch will be uploaded into the main Electrify post also. Post # 220, and I will try to get it done today also.
[Motorola Photon 4G] themac79:
I flashed the unlocked version and it booted up fine, but my 3g symbol was gone. I thought maybe I just needed to update my roaming by dialing *228. When I did it automatically started programming my phone, which I've done before and it has worked for small problems like that. After it finished and rebooted it froze on the home screen, but I could still use the power button to power it off. I did a advanced restore of just my system in CWM which worked. I then flashed the regular Speedy v7 and it froze for a minute on the first reboot, but the second reboot was fine. I'm pretty sure I didn't give it enough time to boot up, people might want to give it a little extra time to boot and then reboot again.
